Let’s runaway with the circus! {giveaway}

Let’s have a show of hands…Who wanted to runaway with the circus when they were little? Who wants to still runaway with the circus?

I’ve always been enamored by the circus. The people flying through the air, standing on the back of a horse as it gallops around the ring, the strength, the agility, the excitement. There truly is no place like the circus. And, when it comes to the circus, no one does it quite like Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey!

This year Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey are presenting BARNUM 200! This amazing birthday bash truly is The Greatest Show On Earth as it features 130 performers from around the world. You will witness trapeze artists doing death defying tricks, tumblers, contortionists, strongmen (and women). Elephants, horses, tigers and even a Watusi (I’ll let you Google that one)!

I absolutely love the circus and have looked forward to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey returning to Grand Rapids every fall. This year I am even more excited because my girls are SUPER excited. They sit in awe every time we see the advertisement on tv! I cannot wait to see the sheer amazement don their faces as they watch the circus in person on Thursday!

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey BARNUM 200 will be performing at VanAndel Arena this weekend:

Thursday, September 15 at 7pm (OPENING NIGHT)
Friday, September 16 at 7pm
Saturday, September 17 at 11am
Saturday, September 17 at 3pm
Saturday, September 17 at 7pm
Sunday, September 18 at 2pm

Doors open 1 hour prior to the show (let’s face it, you’ll want to be there early to catch every single minute!) and tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com.
